Two Princes Lyrics

One, two, princes kneel before you (that's what I said, now) Princes, Princes who adore you (Just go ahead, now) One has diamonds in his pockets (and that's some bread, now) This one, he wants to buy you rockets (Ain't in his head, now) This one, he got a princely racket (That's what I said, now) Got some big seal upon his jacket (Ain't in his head, now) Ya marry him, your father will condone you (how bout that, now) Ya marry me, your father will disown you (he'll eat his hat, now) Marry him or marry me, I'm the one that loves you baby can't you see? Ain't got no future or a family tree, But I know what a prince and lover ought to be, I know what a prince and lover ought to be.... Said, if you want to call me baby (Just go ahead, now) An' if you like to tell me maybe (Just go ahead, now) If you wanna buy me flowers (Just go ahead, now) And if you want to talk for hours (Just go ahead, now) One, two, princes kneel before you (that's what I said, now) Princes, Princes who adore you (Just go ahead, now) One has diamonds in his pockets (and that's some bread, now) This one, he wants to buy you rockets (Ain't in his head, now) marry him or marry me, I'm the one that loves you baby can't you see? Ain't got no future or a family tree, But I know what a prince and lover ought to be, I know what a prince and lover ought to be.... Said, if you want to call me baby (Just go ahead, now) An' if you want to tell me maybe (Just go ahead, now) If you wanna buy me flowers (Just go ahead, now) And if you want to talk for hours (Just go ahead, now) if you want to call me baby if you like to tell me maybe If you wanna buy me flowers And if you want to talk for hours Come on. Come on. Come on. Just go ahead now

Meaning of Two Princes

“Two Princes” is a playful yet poignant reflection on love and societal expectations, delivered with Spin Doctors’ signature energetic rhythm. The song presents a stark choice: succumb to the superficial allure of wealth – represented by the “princes” offering diamonds and rockets – or embrace a genuine, albeit unconventional, connection. It's about recognizing that true value isn't measured in material possessions but in heartfelt devotion. The artist uses the fairytale imagery of princes to highlight the absurdity of prioritizing status over love, particularly when contrasted with the narrator’s simple desires: affection, conversation, and perhaps a little floral gesture. Ultimately, it’s an impassioned plea for someone to see beyond appearances and choose a love built on understanding rather than inherited privilege, declaring “I'm the one that loves you baby can’t you see?”
